The Underground Railroad Today

Some of my Republican acquaintances rationalize their continued voting for candidates who are anti-abortionists by claiming that because of this new underground railroad, pregnant women throughout America still have the legal power to procure an elective abortion throughout the first trimester.

I'd think, rather, the possibility of assisted escape from a slave state to a free state did not mean that voting for defenders of the institution of slavery was not participation in evil. That is to say, it should not be done. One should vote against any anti-abortionist (unless they are pitted against a champion of compulsory national service such as reactivation of the military draft, which is the same issue at stake in the proscription of elective abortions) or at least not vote for them. If one has voted for anti-abortionist Senators or Presidents in the past and one acknowledges the injustice of the new proscriptions of abortion in America following on Dobbs, perhaps a drop of forgiveness is due one who has reformed their voting choices and another drop if additionally one contributes to the new underground railroad.

"The Church says 'no' to IVF due to the massive destruction of embryonic life, the assault on the meaning of the conjugal act and the treatment of the child as a product not a gift."* Also, the church of Rome has long been opposed to sexual joy for its own sake, to capitalism, and to scientific and technological advances shrinking human helplessness against nature (which undercuts some of the jobs of the witch doctors.) 

Alabama Supreme Court puts the secular sword behind the preposterous RC mystical view: frozen embryos are children.
